    All told, if this game isn't on your phone, you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

    It remains to be seen whether Temple Run is the greatest running game on the App Store, but it's without question one of the best. For a buck, it's definitely worth a look.

    Temple Run tightens up and polishes the endless-runner for the 3rd dimension, giving players a unique and fun challenge that controls like a dream.

    A solid take on the endless running genre that doesn't add anything, but is still fun all the same.

  1. Temple Run is probably the most addictive App Store game you can buy. Even though it is a simple idea, there is a great amount of strategic work involved.Buy it! Expand
  2. Pretty fun and addictive when you start playing the game. Might get a bit boring after playing lots of it since you repeat the movements over and over again. My score: 77/100 Expand
  3. Temple Run brings the non-stop running game genre(if it is a genre) to new heights, with its addictive gameplay and excellent upgrade system all looks fine and dandy in the universe of running out of a temple for free world. It also is a very dynamic game, with the camera swooping low as you skid underneath a tree and bends tightly as you sprint around corners. Unfortunately the game isn't perfect and its attempt at all this seems to occasionally make the game not respond to your commands. E.g. I go to turn a corner and the 2500m pop-up comes on and makes my character not turn, becoming a game with alot of lag. Another example is when I picked up the boost temporary upgrade and "guy dangerous" ran off of the track missing the corner while going really fast. These small things can really spoil the time and it should be fixed. That said, I recommend this to any iOS users. Expand
  4. Now, i like skill games but not skill games like this because this game is always the same when running, making this game very boring. It's average, on the first play, however as i said before it gets longer and boring er. This game is rarely updated even when it is updated it isn't that good. This game has been copied a lot of times and I would say they are better. Even thought this game is free, i still wouldn't recommend it. Expand
